Really? When was the last time you called a company that has engineers on the payroll and got the CEO?
He farms the customer service out to Bangladesh and pockets the money he saves on that. Then he keeps Engineer pay flat while turnover continues to lower average salary, pocketing the money he saves on that, even while introducing new products the Engineers developed, which improves his bottom line, and he pockets a fat bonus that's negotiated into his contract because of that.
No, considering the man GW Bush to be the only thing meant when someone mentions "bush economic meltdown" is shortsighted.
Letting his party have control of America again would be a total disaster. The minute the Supreme Court put them in unchecked power in 2000, they fired up the pump and started draining the treasury and several decades' worth of future earnings, putting us in the deepest hole we've ever been in.
I live in the universe where I've read your post twice and you're still talking nonsense.
Bush's tax cuts did nothing to improve the economy and a lot to make things worse for all but the richest in America.
And he's the one who instituted Gitmo, illegal wiretaps, and the war in Iraq.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea why Obama has to keep Gitmo open, no clue why he has to defend the nation against the legal trouble that the illegal wiretaps caused, and probably haven't heard that he's ending the war in Iraq.
So, really, you should be asking yourself if you're in this universe, because your view of it is a lot like how it would look if you were on the outside viewing it through a crystal ball.
In this case it's "we'd rather have a different candidate fronting for the party that's going to vote for our corporate interests, but we got this one and we still want our tax cuts despite the fact that it will deepen the recession".
You're going to have to provide a link to that story. I vaguely remember something like it, but Google is awash in results for "boeing airbus contract government leaked" that have nothing to do with such a story.
I'd try Bing, but I don't like how it spies on me.
Actually, I think they burned him because they already have or or more moles in Akamai doing what he offered to do, possibly at rather elevated levels of the company. So they don't need him, don't need the risk exposure of having more moles than they need, and didn't want to take the chance that he was counterintelligence.
Well, no. If they ask you to commit a crime and you commit the crime, that's not entrapment.
If they induce you to commit a crime you don't want to commit, that's entrapment.
Offering you money isn't enough of an inducement to be entrapment. Offering to let you know where your child is might be. Telling you they'll harm your child if you don't definitely is.
English is an agglomeration of many languages, so how it chooses to apply rules from those languages is necessarily in violation of them all, nearly all the time.
What's embarassing is that there are now about 100,000 virii that have to be tracked, quarantined, and removed from systems daily, and someone thinks the words used to describe it are what's worth getting upset over.
Simply put there was no PIE to be "mispronounced" when there were Latin speakers.
And there is no Latin any longer, as any Latin professor will tell you when informing you that there should be no accent whatsoever on the language when spoken by a native English speaker, because that is the only equitable way to deal with the fact that we have no way of knowing what the accent would have been.
As for the "subset of an instance" part, an instance of water is an ocean. A subset of an ocean is a sea. A subset of a sea is a droplet. And so on.
And, essentially, the point kinda sorta whooshed over your head. In English the word "virus" is not used the same way it should be in Latin, so there's no basis for complaining that its plural is not correct Latin. As you point out, it's an English word now, and we're keepin' it.
Well, if you want to get all prissy about the Latin, then it's incorrect to use the word to describe a single unit of the substance, in the way it's not correct to call a single water molecule "a water". Id est, since a viral program is itself a cell in the viral infection of many computers, there's no term for it other than "viral program" and no term for several of them other than "viral programs". The "virus" would be some arbitrarily bounded subset of the population of said viral programs infecting machines, which could devolve to a single program infecting a single machine, but would still not be the correct term for that program or, indeed, for the viral infection being suffered by that machine. It could correctly refer to the running program and its data (which in most computers includes its instructions) and the progress of its states, but I'm pretty sure nobody much thinks of it that clearly when using the word "virus". Nor is it correct to use "a virus" to refer to a type of virus (exempli gratia Stuxnet, Sasser, Hopper, et cetera) but only to an instance of that type of virus as it is spreading, or, again, some arbitrary subset thereof, wherein it has its physical expression and aggregate, fluid form.
As for whether it annoys you for people to use a latinate word that is both convenient and apt despite its not being precisely Latin, well, tough titty, because apparently the Latin version of it is a mispronunciation of the Proto-Indo-European word for the same gooey mess, so insisting on going only as far back as Latin for the value of correctness of form is false cognitive closure, and that gives everyone else cause to be annoyed at you.
Virii all have different signatures, so it doesn't matter what signature you choose.
Just write a script that pokes something into the registry and adds a funny file to the Windows system directory, and use it on each computer before class.
Then write a script that pretends to find it and tell them where it is when they run it in class.
"I formerly, and I still have friends who, will go 12,000 miles to kill your enemies. The pay for that is not large enough to be an actual factor in the desire to do it."
I formerly, and I still have friends who, 12,000 miles to kill your enemies. The pay for that large enough to be an actual factor in the desire to do it.
If someone needs help and there's nobody else to give help you help them.
As a society we pool our money and hire professionals so we can have a well-trained staff that can do it efficiently, so we don't have to get involved.
But when that staff stands around gawking instead of PUTTING OUT THE FUCKING FIRE then it's our responsibility to step in. But, really, it was their responsibility regardless of their status as professionals to step in, too, because clearly the thing wasn't going to get put out without them.
So all they accomplished is to demonstrate to the rest of their market that your house will burn down if you don't pay for the service ahead of time, even if they're standing right next to it with the equipment to make short work of it. Which is one of the more inhumane things I've ever heard of.

Yes, generally in the same way he deals with employees: by telling them a big lie that makes them think they're the ones getting the deal.
Really? When was the last time you called a company that has engineers on the payroll and got the CEO?
He farms the customer service out to Bangladesh and pockets the money he saves on that. Then he keeps Engineer pay flat while turnover continues to lower average salary, pocketing the money he saves on that, even while introducing new products the Engineers developed, which improves his bottom line, and he pockets a fat bonus that's negotiated into his contract because of that.
but fixating on him is shortsighted.
No, considering the man GW Bush to be the only thing meant when someone mentions "bush economic meltdown" is shortsighted.

Well, Dell did this, Intel did this, Microsoft did this, Oracle did this...
And it worked for them.
'kill' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. If your dictionary doesn't tell you what "virii" means, then your dictionary is incomplete.

It's also possible the paper is owned and published by flaming hypocrites.
It's not just paste.
I have frequent trouble getting the word spelled "r-e-p-l-a-c-e" into posts.
Something in the script is probably doing an eval in a way that considers it a keyword.
Which I'm sure perks up the ears of code-injection sploiters.

Again, no, just asking you to do it or offering you some benefit to do it is not entrapment.
Forcing you somehow to do it when you don't want to is entrapment.
Well, no. If they ask you to commit a crime and you commit the crime, that's not entrapment.
If they induce you to commit a crime you don't want to commit, that's entrapment.
Offering you money isn't enough of an inducement to be entrapment. Offering to let you know where your child is might be. Telling you they'll harm your child if you don't definitely is.
Doesn't work. Congress never did convert to metric.
It's nowhere because it's not.

I believe that's Knobii Pretentiensis.

Ask them what they should do next.
I can pretty much guarantee that simple data-processing efficiency will not make a tiny dent in the white hole of entropy that is Congress.
And it would take a major constitutional amendment to supplant them with anything digital and algorithmically controlled.
So you're safe. Take your gun back to bed.
just take $1 trillion from the people who shipped all of our jobs overseas.
Oh wait, it's these guys!
